Esther Porcelijn: Seconden later zijn wij allerbesten

porcelijnesther664

 

Esther Porcelijn

Seconden later zijn wij allerbesten

 

Seconden later zijn wij allerbesten.

Hij spreekt alweer van vroeger en van toen,

van: “ weet je nog?” en onze eerste zoen.

Hij koos de mooiste, deelde wat er restte.

 

Wij lachend om die avond in ’t plantsoen,

de avond in het gras op Tilburg West en

ik kon niet wachten op mijn grootse test en

zag hem mijn liefje van haar goed ontdoen.

 

Terwijl hij alle mensen om zich rijgt,

zijn nonchalante ‘k-weet-’t-ook-niet-geste,

ben ik diegene die zacht grapt en zwijgt.

 

Zal ik dan toch de rake waarheid ketsen?

Hem laten zien dat ik hem overstijg?

Ach wat, ik blijf toch altijd de gekwetste.

 

Zevende sonnet van de Tilburgse sonnettenkrans 2012, aangeboden als gratis boekenweekgeschenk.
